Had fun in Halifax and a blast in Boston

We have travelled quite a ways since our last entry.  Our journey back on the Newfoundland ferry was 4 hours late leaving but we managed to have a good voyage overnight. We traveled to Halifax and spent Monday morning in there. Once again our tour was aboard an amphibious bus - called the Harbour Hopper in Halifax.  Our guide was awesome. Here you can see Rose and Jacqueline on the harbour in front of the Acadia that survived both world wars and the infamous Halifax explosion. Interestingly, it was built by the same company that built the Titanic.

Next, we went to Lunenburg where the Bluenose II is moored.  Nicholas is in front of this sailing schooner that was famous for its speed at the turn of the century.  Lunenburg is a neat town with an incredibly high percentage of old homes and buildings that have been well maintained. Right after Lunenburg, we raced to Yarmouth to catch 'The Cat' ferry to Bar Harbor, Maine.  This was quite a 3 hour ride on the aluminum fast cat!

Since we are returning to Vancouver, mainly through the states, we decided at the last minute to check out Boston last night.  We were so close we went for it.  There's nothing like driving a truck and trailer through downtown Boston at rush hour!  Bostonians are very friendly and helpful ... as long as they're not driving a car.  The Red Sox were playing the Oakland A's but the only tickets left were $160 Green Monster seats so we bought a t-shirt instead. Rose and Jacqueline are seen here in front of the legendary Fenway Park.  We also checked out the Beacon Hill and Quincy Market downtown where we had ice cream for dinner.  Today, we're going to go to Niagara Falls.
